Romancing the Bike
It seems some people can’t see anything romantic about biking in the city. To me, that seems ridiculous.
Bicycling is full of meet-cute situations, laughter, and the chance of romance all with a beautiful city backdrop- just like in a movie. Except it’s better than a movie because you can live it.
In this world, the bicycles play a role too.
They easily bring characters together on wheels.
And once together, they get to go beautiful places. Even if it’s just to work.
Bikes might be the most romantic machine ever.
I met my wife on a bike ride. We got a tandem when we got married. We still ride all the time and is one way we spend quality time together. One of the best parts is no complaints about all the bikes parked in the garage. She has more than me!
Though my husband and I didn’t meet through cycling, we are both avid cyclists, and use bicycles as our primary mode of transit. We have decided that, since the ideal number of bikes for an individual to own is n+1 (where n is the number of bikes they currently own), the ideal number for a couple is n+2, so that we can always have the same number of bikes. I won’t complain about him buying another bike, as long as I get one too! 😀
My cycling club put on a community bike repair event as a fund raiser and I met a delightful biker there….
mmm cupcakes, nomnomnom
This hasn’t happened to me, yet. I’m on my bicycle every single day. I’m not out to find love, love has to find me. I’m just there for the adventure. It’s out there.
I so love this post! In full on 50’s poodle skirt style today on my commuter, I got a wolf whistle and, well, I loved it! When I first met my husband I told him I wanted to ride across the US. He said he would love to do that. I said, I’m serious, you can’t just say that to me. He said, I am. And we’ve been married almost 10 years.
My wife want to cross the US as well. We have been talking about it for years. We are planning to do it in 2015 on the tandem. Hope you get to make the grand tour too.
